la vera pizza.
October 27, 2011
Back in the day, one of us Lab gals worked at La Vera Pizza in downtown Santa Rosa as a young waitress slingin’ pies. This was prior to a celiac disease diagnosis, so most shifts ended with a slice (or three). Oh how we miss pizza — after 13 years of being gluten-free, it’s still at the top of our cravings list.
We recently heard that LaVera now features a gluten-free crust, so naturally we had to go try it out for the benefit of our readers (the things we do…).
Gluten-free pizza is NOT listed on the menu just yet. BUT! LaVera assured us that it’s a regular menu item, all you have to do is ask for it. The pizza is limited to a medium size (perfect, in our opinion, to share with a friend alongside a salad), and there are no limitations on what you pile on top of it — you can order any of their pizza creations with the GF crust or custom-mix your fave topping combo. The GF crust was relatively thin, and it held its own against the creation we chose (Combo Mia + gorgonzola, yum!). The edges were crackery but had the perfect balance of chew and crunch throughout. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite, as did our non-GF dining partner.
Look out La Vera, the gals are coming back…!
